WASHINGTON: Families of the9/11 victims want the entire$ 7 billion of Afghan means — withheld at the US Federal Reserve — paid as compensation for the terrorist attacks that killed and injured thousands, the US media reported on Monday.
The New York Times reported that the Biden administration “ is listed to tell a civil court on Friday what outgrowth would be in the US public interest,” — returning the plutocrat to Kabul or distributing it among the survivors and families of the9/11 victims.
“ The US Justice Department has been negotiating with attorneys for the9/11 complainants an implicit deal to divide up the plutocrat if the government supports their attempt to seize it,” the report added.
“ The White House National Security Council has been working with agencies across the government to weigh the offer.”
About 150 family members of Sept 11 victims went to the courts nearly 20 times ago to seek compensation for their losses. Nearly people were killed, and further than were injured. The action named targets, like Al Qaeda and Taliban, who, they said, orchestrated the attack and thus must pay the compensation as well.
A decade latterly, a court plant the defendants liable by dereliction and ordered them to pay damages now worth about$ 7 billion.
The judgment, still, sounded emblematic as the US raided Afghanistan soon after the attacks, deposed the Taliban governance, and Devastated Al Qaeda.
On Aug 15 this time, the Taliban returned to power and claimed that about$ 7 billion of the Afghan central bank, firmed at the US Federal Reserve in New York, was rightfully theirs.
